Three-Step Telescoped Synthesis of MonosubstitutedVicinal Diamines from Aldehydes

摘要

Aldehydes are easily transformed into vicinal diamines and piperazines through a one-pot procedure including a Darzens reaction and treatment with an amine or diamine and then with a reducing agent. Additionally, quinoxalines can be accessed by reaction with 1,2-benzenediamine under oxidative conditions. These transformations are simple methods for the preparation of synthetically interesting monosubstituted diamines, piperazines, and quinoxalines.
